hi all is anybody going the the woodworking show in harrogate over the weekend of the 21st – 23rd Nov
6 November 2014 at 9:37 pm #120674No Eddy I wish I could but California is a little to far. I did go to the show in southern California last weekend. Veritas was there and I got a couple of nice new tools. But I was a little irritated at all the machines making so much noise. All I could think about was don’t these people know how to really work wood hear. Sort of funny but I used to be a machine operator as far as wood goes. I kept saying to my wife that’s not how Paul does it. But if you go have a great time. I just wanted to say thank you for all the great posts. I am a new member and always enjoy reading your posts.
Respectfully

24 November 2014 at 5:46 pm #121402Hi Eddy, The only thing I bought was some supper glue and accelerator I am not looking for any more tools at present I still have a gift card for Axminster that I got for my birthday in September to spend.
The guy I was speaking to was from the Leeds MIS he was a full time employee who’s job it was to help the other members , from the photos he had it looked like a big workshop that he said cost £5,000 a year in rentI have not been to the Wigan MIS
